LETTER: Fireworks must be organized

Brampton Guardian

The use of fireworks by private citizens on their front lawns in so close together neighbourhoods must be illegal in the City of Brampton.
Children do not realize how very dangerous the use of fireworks is. They can cause burn injuries, fires to the neighbourhood properties, and so on. I am not against a fireworks display if it is done by pros and not children.
I loved to take my children when they were young to fireworks displays on Victoria Day. But they must be displayed in designated areas recommended by the fire department and The City of Brampton.
The City of Brampton does not have a strict policy regarding fireworks. The fireworks policy has to be enforced before a tragedy occurs.
It is not only a fireworks policy that is not enforced. The traffic violations, disregarding the stop signs or the red traffic light signal must stop. Stop signs and mail boxes becoming billboards for whoever wants to advertise his business. Traffic speeding 70 km/h in 40 km/h and 50 km/h zones close to schools is not acceptable.
On Diwali I phoned 911 twice and complained as the fireworks were falling on our house roof but there was no action from either fire department or police force. I waited outside in the cold just to be sure that the sparks were not falling on the roof of our house.
